Which of the Following Contains Hydrolytic Enzymes

Question

Which of the following contains hydrolytic enzymes?
A) lysosome
B) vacuole
C) mitochondrion
D) Golgi apparatus
E) peroxisome

Accepted Answer

Lysosomes are organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes, which are enzymes that break down macromolecules (such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) into smaller molecules. These enzymes work best under acidic conditions, which is why lysosomes have a low pH. Lysosomes function in intracellular digestion, autophagy, and the recycling of cellular components.
